Zip Books Zip Books is a grant program funded by the California State Library. This program allows our library patrons to request a book that is not already in the library's collection.
The book is shipped directly from Amazon to the patron’s home. When finished, the patron will return the item to the library and the library will add the item to our collection to share with the rest of the community!
This program concludes on June 30, 2025, or when we run out of grant funds, whichever comes first.
For more information, requirements, and the submission form, please visit our website: www.buenaparklibrary.org/zip-books |
